88 to 92 dash and gauge swap

I am restoring a 1988 Iroc and the dash in it is trashed. I also have a 1992 RS for parts. I like that dash and cluster alot more. What do I need to do to be able to convert the clusters and or dash? Can I mate the interior wiring harness from the 92 to the 88?

Re: 88 to 92 dash and gauge swap

There are some differences in the C100 Firewall connector. You can print out the diagrams for reference here:

http://www.berlinetta.info/C100.htm

You would need to re-wire the wiper wiring and maybe a few other wires here and there.... You will also need to check out the wires leading to/from the C207 connector as well.

Here's the 88 C207


Here's 91 C207



Using these schematics as a guide - you should be able to complete the swap !

So it looks like quite an under taking. I was hoping you would tell me it would be a direct swap. What if i used my existing wiring harness?
